Samsung plans to shift the Galaxy Z Fold 8 toward a wider and shorter shape. Leaked screen protectors reveal this design change ahead of the July 22 Unpacked event. The move appears aimed at countering Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone.

Leaked screen protectors reveal a wider and shorter shape for the upcoming foldable phone.

The accompanying Galaxy Z Flip 8 keeps a similar footprint but improves its hinge mechanism. This update reduces the folded thickness by 0.02 inches compared to previous generations. The device retains the compact profile users expect from the series.

  • Weight (Fold 8): 201 grams
  • Battery Capacity (Fold 8): 4800 mAh
  • Thickness Reduction (Flip 8): 0.02 inches when folded
  • Chipset (Flip 8, KR/EU): Exynos 2600
  • Chipset (Flip 8, US/Other): Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy

Internal specifications for the Fold 8 point to a heavier build and larger power cell. The phone weighs 201 grams and houses a 4800 mAh battery. Samsung also claims improvements to the display crease quality in this generation.

Regional chipset choices define the processing power inside the Flip 8 unit. South Korean and European models will run on the Exynos 2600 processor. Devices sold in the US and other markets receive the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy chip.
